About this ebook
You want to get fit and healthy, but don’t want to pay for expensive gym memberships or equipment. Now, you don’t have to, with calisthenics. All you need is a bit of space, and your own body to build your muscle mass, improve your stamina, and lose weight!
Calisthenics entails hundreds of different exercises where you use your own body weight instead of a machine. The exercises range from simple and low impact, right up to the more advanced and intensely high impact. As with any exercise regime, you start off low and work your way up.
You don’t need exercise machines, special clothing or any other type of equipment. You can practice calisthenics anywhere and at any time. No more having to face the hoards at the gym! Instead, find a nice playground or park somewhere and exercise out in the fresh air, by yourself.
Of course you can do calisthenics in groups; it is entirely up to you. Also up to you are what exercises you choose to do each day. You can mix them up and keep the routines changing, so you won’t get bored. After all, boredom and tedious formats are what usually make us stop exercising! Young, old, male, female and even children can do calisthenics. In fact, many schools now include it as part of their exercise program for children. Learn the 25 exercises in this book and look forward to a slimmer, healthier and fitter you!
Chapters include:
What Is Calisthenics?
Benefits of Calisthenics
Core Body Exercises
Upper Body Exercises
Lower Body exercises
Plus more!
